Why we love the Fall Season in Camden Maine

With the crisp air of autumn comes the chance to experience a quintessential fall weekend in one of the most beautiful fall villages in Maine; Camden! Named Favorite Foliage Town by Yankee Magazine, Camden offers a variety of perfect autumn attractions. It doesn’t matter if it is your first time experiencing the fall or if you came back year after year, you'll be amazed at the glorious colors on display.

Enjoy a long hike at one of the many trails the area has to offer (Camden area was named ‘One of World’s Most Scenic Walks’ by Departures Magazine earlier this year) or sail the bay and have spectacular views on the high hills surrounding the harbor and bay with stunning colored trees.

Or spend an afternoon browsing the unique boutiques and art galleries in the area among our favorites are Glendarragh Lavender with unique lavender scented gifts, Surroundings offering a variety of beautiful often coastal inspired decorations, or Once A Tree, with a great collection of vases, bowls and so much more all made out of wood.

We recommend spending a few days in Camden and we hope the following suggestions will give you a few unique ideas for an extended Autumn Stay at Camden Harbour Inn

Whenever we have the chance we love to drive or hike up Mount Battie for spectacular foliage views over the town of Camden, the harbor, the bay, the many islands and the coastline.

We always love to spend an afternoon at Cellardoor Winery in Lincolnville and taste their wines or take part in one of the fun cooking classes or wine dinner events. We highly recommend having lunch at Cellardoor. The winery offers a variety of delicious cold plates prepared by a local farmers market; Megunticook Market served with a complimentary glass of wine….or better buy a bottle and spend a romantic afternoon in the vineyard!

Especially in the fall whenever we have a spare moment we love to take out our kayak on Megunticook lake. It is beautiful in the fall, less than 10 minutes driving from Camden and perhaps the best way to see the foliage! Please contact our concierge if you like to rent a kayak.

Starting this summer we are able to rent a Classic Scooter and tour the area the ‘Italian Way’. Navigation system, a picnic basket and blanket are included, who knows where the journey will bring you?

If you like to relax after a day out and about, than consider our new suites fitted with a sauna, steam-shower and a Jacuzzi.
